Migrate Email from an Old Server

 

This built-in feature will allow you to do an import from your old mail server to the new one. It does a one-time transfer of your files, but you can run it as many times as you like.

 

    1. Log in at https://webmail.webunlimited.com to the account that you want to transfer the email into.

    2. Click on Settings

    1. Click on My Settings > Advanced Settings > Mailbox Migration. This will open the Mailbox Migration window.

 

  1. Choose the Account Type that applies. If you’re migrating from one POP mailbox to another, just use Other. There are also specific options from Exchange, Gmail, IMail, Zimbra, Yahoo, Hotmail, and others.

    Please note that IMAP imports will pull the file structure with your import.
